The Accenture Federal Technology Vision is our annual big picture look at the top technology trends poised to disrupt government over the next three years. This year’s report examines an emerging technology landscape created following the compressed transformation enterprises pursued in their response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Technologies, including extended reality, blockchain, 5G, the internet of things, quantum computing, synthetic data, and smart materials, are converging into the Metaverse Continuum. What’s surprising to some is how the federal government is leading this charge in many cases. In this episode, Accenture Federal Services’ Terrianne Lord speaks with Chief Technology Officer Chris Copeland and Chief Innovation Officer Kyle Michl about the Accenture Federal Technology Vision 2022: Government Enters the Metaverse. They are the lead authors for this year’s research, and Lord is a contributor to Trend 1: WebMe report.
